Breathe.

A weekend of SUP yoga is exactly what you need after a long week at work. Slip on the Prana Raya Boyshort Bikini Bottom so you can focus on the smooth water and warm sun, rather than an ill-fitting bikini bottom. The wide, mid-rise waistband provides welcome support as you flow from pose to pose and work to maintain stability on your board, while the rich colors and fun patterns welcome you to a weekend in your happy place.

I like a bit more coverage in bikini bottoms and spent a lot of time looking for a boy short style that would work both for more active beach days and just lounging. I’ve been very happy with these so far. I’ve had for about a year and they’re still in great shape.

The Wife: This suit fits very comfortably. It isn't as cheeky as the picture shows and sits at a nice spot on the waist so you don't have to worry about parts showing. It's perfect for an active beach lifestyle.

I am a mom of 2 young children, and really wanted something I felt comfortable moving around in. These are awesome. They provide great coverage and feel very well made. I have tried on several swim shorts, and these are by far the most flattering. I feel great in them! I haven't worn them in water yet, but if they wash and wear well, I plan to buy them in more colors. I got the electric orange sevilla, and it's beautiful!

They've got you covered

Be it climbing rocks or sitting spread eagle, these short provide the coverage generally not afforded to women's bikini bottoms. I would recommend these to someone who is looking for a bottom that allows them to move like a normal human in their swimwear.

I bought the black color and my only complaint is that I wish they weren't so shiny. They fit true to size, I generally wear a XS or S in panties and I went with an XS.

I feel like the princess and the pea when it comes to bikini bottoms, but I am really, really excited about the coverage that this bottom has to offer. I really dislike the over-exposed feeling that I often get when I wear traditional bikini bottoms, but I'm not super keen on wearing a one-piece as the sensation of fabric suctioned to my stomach drives me bananas. So I opted for this bottom figuring that it would provide me with the coverage I wanted, without having to conform to the high-waist silhouette or one-piece style.

I purchased the Peri Jasmine colorway, and it's a bit more rich / deep in color than the picture indicates, but then again that could be the color balance on my monitor more than anything.

As for the fit, the front seems to fit perfectly. However, the back band seems to hug the back of my hips a little snugly—it's honestly not all that noticeable, but I do think if I sized up into a small, the actual shorts part of the suit wouldn't fit properly and I'd be swimming in a sea of material. I was told once that swimwear has a propensity for stretching out a half-inch to an inch after getting wet, so I opted to try this theory out on the Raya and it seemed to work!

Additionally, I don't have an especially large derriere, but I have an athletic body type (31" hips, 26" waist) and prefer my bottoms to have more coverage than the standard "subtly cheeky" fit that's all the rage currently and the Raya achieves just that happy medium for me. For fit comparison, I do wear an XS or a Small (depending on the suit's butt coverage, though the Small is generally relatively loose-ish on me, albeit comfortable) in Patagonia swim bottoms, and wear an XS in Carve Designs bottoms.

Girl shorts!

Perfect boy shorts, just like you'd expect. I got these for my sister. She is stoked on them, for sure. She has the booty, in the family, and these have the perfect coverage. She is in a size medium. She is 5'9 and about 140-145? But, she definitely is a medium according to their size chart, in the hips. So, it was a perfect fit.

So, my photo is bad. I'm sorry. My waterproof lens is all scratched up from sitting on the rock. But, these shorts are perfect! Maybe prAna needs to make lenses, eh?!

Great swim bottom for whatever you may want to do while on the beach or in the stream. I really like the stretch fit material and design. A good bottom if you want to take adventures while in your swimmy suit.
